"You get covered up on like every wave."

Summary
Fun birthday sessions! Both had plenty of waves and fun shoulders. Not perfect weather but certainly a blast and loads of fun.
Waves
Overall rather closeouty at both places. Decent size and power, certainly fun, but a little difficult to find the shoulders. When you find a good one, though, they're mighty fine. Surfrider is an absolute blast. I wish there were a little more power in it, and I alwalys leave feeling my fish is better suited to the slow-ish takeoffs there, but still an absolute blast.
Crowds
Surfrider was not. There were a handful of others but not bad at all. County was certainly more busy but still plenty of workable room.
Weather
Slightly overcast (but beautiful sunrise) at Surfrider, County was very overcast and it actually started to rain.
Forecast
Looks mediocre. Weather is sub par and I have a sinus infection so we'll see how much surfing I get in the next few days.
Eventful Stuff
Nothing too special. No dolphins or anything, just fun waves, shoulders, lots of coverups. Not so many turns but meh, still not bad.
Wave of the Day
County Line shined for about 20 minutes. The inside provided some bowly shoulders, and a few surprisingly nice barrels. A beautiful, unexpected chest+ high right, beautiful drop, clean shoulder, just a bottom turn and nice barrel. It spit me out and beat me up.j
